Call for Applications

Students are invited to apply for admission to the doctoral consortium to be held at the IJCAI conference, July 13-19 2018, Stockholm, Sweden.

The doctoral consortium provides an opportunity for Ph.D. students to discuss their research interests and career objectives with established researchers in AI, network with other participants, and receive mentoring about career planning and career options. The doctoral consortium will expose students to different areas of research within AI and help build professional connections within the international community of AI researchers.

IMPORTANT DATES

Deadline for applications: March 26, 2018

Notification of acceptance: April 23, 2018

Doctoral consortium: July 13, 2018

Applicants should submit (as a single pdf file) the following:

A two-page extended abstract that summarizes the research problem being investigated, the specific contributions made, and directions for the remaining work. The extended abstract has to be formatted using the IJCAI 2-column format, and is strictly limited to 2 pages, including references. Submissions are not double blind, which means the author name and affiliation should be included. When writing remember that the audience is knowledgeable about AI, but not necessarily in the narrow topic of your thesis. Be sure to introduce the content at a level that the general IJCAI audience can understand it, but also include enough low-level details for the experts to understand your unique contributions.Accepted extended abstracts will be published in the IJCAI Proceedings and be presented briefly at the doctoral consortium.
